Source Jensen Integral Extension

Abstract

Adjacent source Jensen polynomials differ by one exact integration constant.

Commentary.

For every natural d at least two, P is the real finite source polynomial with coefficients (d)_k a_k/d^k, where a_k is the frozen sourceThetaCoefficient k. Q is Polynomial.reflect d applied to P(-X). The theorem identifies its complexification with the reflection of the actual sourceJensenPolynomial, so Q is defined at zero as a polynomial.

Every x and every replacement constant b in the formulas is real. The integral is oriented from zero to x; negative x and zero are included. Write Q_b = Q + b - beta. Its derivative is unchanged, its value is R(x)+b, and its roots satisfy R(x)=-b. The two symbolic constants -R(x) and 1-R(x) respectively include and exclude the chosen x from the real zero set. This concerns the family obtained by replacing the constant; the actual theta constant remains fixed. No assertion of computational ease or of a real-rooted theta tower follows.

The proof binds the frozen Jensen degree-lowering identity through Polynomial.coeff_reflect and applies Mathlib’s fundamental theorem of calculus. The remaining equalities are coefficient, field, and ring normalization; there is no finite enumeration or new analytic estimate.
